With the 2023 edition of The Game Awards just days away, some information about a new EA Originals title called Tales of Kenzara: ZAU was leaked on social media. The leak claimed that the new title was intended to be revealed at The Game Awards, and went into detail over when players could expect this title.
All leaks and rumors must be taken with a grain of salt. But, the timing of the leak has raised eyebrows on social media. While some users claimed that the leaks surrounding Tales of Kenzara: ZAU undermined the reveal of the upcoming IP, others expressed interest in how it would compare to other titles under the EA Originals banner, such as Immortals of Aveum and It Takes Two. While some EA Originals have seen varying degrees of success, the program has given independent studios a way to bring their games into the spotlight. A credible source on social media stated that another IP would soon join the EA Originals lineup.

Christopher Judge, the actor behind Kratos in God of War Ragnarok, will be a presenter at The Game Awards 2023 after winning last year.
According to information from the leak, Tales of Kenzara: ZAU is a 2.5D action platformer developed by the UK-based Surgent Studios, and it is said to feature horizontal gameplay along the lines of the Trine series. Players will don the mantle of a young mage and switch between two different magic types and play styles that are color-coded blue and orange. While further details of this leak remained light, the leak claimed that Tales of Kenzara: ZAU would be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S at a starting price of $17.99. However, the leak was unable to confirm if the Switch, PS4, or Xbox One would be supported or not.
In addition, the leak stated that Tales of Kenzara: ZAU would potentially be released on April 23, 2024, and that preorders would start just after the game’s official announcement in early December 2023. Suffice it to say, the early December window would probably mean that the new IP from Surgent Studios will join a stacked lineup of potential PlayStation and Xbox news at The Game Awards on December 7.
While some gamers disputed the leaks in question concerning Tales of Kenzara: ZAU, only time will tell if Surgent Studio’s new IP will make an appearance during the broadcast or not. Between this latest EA rumor, and news from studios such as Sega, the first full week of December 2023 is shaping up to be loaded with good news for gamers.
